Chapter 196: Meiji Restoration (12)

There are as many as 50,000 drawings, and the lead characters on them are all drawn with biological explosives, and a total of 2 kilograms of live "sex" biological bombs have been used, and Huang Xuan is far away from the 7 horses when he walks, for fear that if he is not careful, he will become ashes within a radius of several kilometers.

Mitsui Takasui had a calm face on the surface, but he actually smiled inwardly, and according to the promise of the British, as long as they could share the technology on the drawings, they were not only willing to pay half the money, but also willing to sell the machinery needed by Japan at a fair price - this solved Mitsui Takasui's biggest problem.

Paul, of course, had his own ideas, and he was very skeptical of where Huang Xuan got the drawings, which of course would not be the Chinese's own technology, but rather like a new gadget recently invented by the Germans - which raised new questions. The British, who pursue balanced diplomacy, have always been cautious about the "goodwill" between the Germans and the Chinese.

Huang Xuan put his hands behind his back, learning his grandfather's posture, taking square steps, swaying and walking, Mitsui Takashi followed him half a step behind, and his expression was less humble and more proud.

The warehouses near the docks were full of dried abalone, which were blocked off for hundreds of meters and guarded, and even in this era, the price of abalone was comparable to gold.

Huang Xuan whispered to Lorraine: "Check whether the weight and quality are correct, don't pity the energy, any box of abalone here is enough for you to use electricity for a few days." ”

"Got it." Lorraine has always been reassuring.

At this time, Mitsui Gao pointed to the boxes piled up in front of him with ice, and said: "There are a total of 200 net abalones, a total of 1,000 top-quality abalone and hemp abalone, worth 260,000 taels of silver, 8,000 abalones in the second head, worth 300,000 taels of silver, and the remaining three abalones are 20,000 abalones, which are 120,000 taels of silver." It was originally intended to be sent to Kuala Lumpur and Tianjin to be sold for money, but now it is also here. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to some of the boxes behind him and said, "Those are all abalone with less than 4 heads, 50,000 catties, and a total price of 120,000 taels of silver." That's a total of 800,000 taels of silver. ”

Mitsui Takasui was joking in his words, and in his mind, Huang Xuan was probably unwilling to exchange for so many abalones. After all, real money is real, tens of thousands of abalone, and even exchanging money is troublesome.

In fact, due to the isolation of the shogunate from the country, and then the Shogunate War, Japan's abalone exports were limited to a halt in recent years—which was originally a major part of their Qing exports—and in Japan, the demand for abalone was not as great as that of the Qing Dynasty and the South Seas, so many abalone were caught and saved at a large price. On the contrary, there is not much stock of precious metal currency in Japan, and the two-year war has emptied the inventory, and if it were not for Huang Xuan's agreement to exchange abalone for silver, Mitsui Takasui would not agree to it anyway, and he would not have been able to take out 800,000 taels of silver.

Now, for the merchants of Osaka, it is not unaffordable for them to exchange the backlog of materials for the much-needed industrial resources, and to please the British, even if the price is slightly high.

Huang Xuan was stunned for a while, in the eyes of the Japanese, it was naturally a sign of hesitation, but he didn't know that he was actually silently settling accounts in his heart, a head of abalone can be sold for at least 3 million yuan, and the price of net abalone is even higher, 1200 can only be regarded as 4 billion yuan, and the remaining two-headed abalone and three-headed abalone are all things of more than 500,000 yuan, if they can be sold, theoretically, they can be worth 14 billion yuan......

In addition, the three-headed abalone and the four-headed abalone, after the 21st century, are also treasures, if they are well-made, they can also be sold for hundreds of thousands of yuan, even if the price of 100,000 yuan each, the total value will exceed 20 billion yuan.

Added together, 38 billion yuan, almost more than the global consumption of abalone, of course, this is not the problem, one year can not sell for two years, two years can not sell for three years, you can still eat abalone rice every day, think about it also feel that this life is erosive.

Huang Xuan feels very strange now, and when he looks at Mitsui Gaosui again, he has a smile on his face.

I really can't bear to blow up such an empathetic little Japan.

If it weren't for the income of Nengton, Huang Xuanzhen had the intention to take away the abalone on the dock like this, which would be more than 4 billion US dollars, which is about the same as the market value of the Sifang Group.

"Nick, send a message to Lu Min, I also want 100 kilograms of live "sex" biobombs." After becoming rich, his pursuit was different.

"No problem." Nick's favorite thing is that Huang Xuan sent him a mission.

Rubbing his hands, Huang Xuan smiled and said to Mitsui Gaosui: "It's all whole numbers, it's really a lot." ”

"In the past few years, all the abalone saved in Osaka is here." Yataro Iwasaki stood next to him and said, "If you still have money, when we take down Edo, there will be it." ”

"That's good, that's good......" Huang Xuan actually called it a waste in his heart, he was going to go to Edo again, but if he wanted to collect so many abalones again, I was afraid it would not be easy.

Pretending to check on the ice pile, Huang Xuan stood up with his nose covered, and said: "You first check the drawings brought this time, if there is no problem, I will give you the rest of the drawings in a few days, and then load the abalone on the ship, even if it is a silver and a cargo." ”

Mitsui Takasui tried his best not to let the surprise overflow, he would never accept a bunch of abalone as silver, not to mention that it was not discounted at all.

As he spoke, Nick replied, "Lu Min has received the information, and the biobomb will be delivered soon." Unlike Lorraine, Nick often uses vague modal words such as very fast.

Huang Xuan glanced at the abalone worth tens of thousands of dollars behind him, got up and walked to Mitsui Gaosui's side, and whispered: "Your Excellency Mitsui, I have also prepared the design of ****, as long as I can hold on for another 5 days, I will hand it over to you." ”

Mitsui glanced at him, nodded lightly, and said, "I believe in Lord Huang's promise, and I'm glad that Lord Li can come to our country to express his condolences." ”

"That's good." Huang Xuan snorted, reluctantly passing by the abalone pile, he couldn't give the Japanese complete drawings now, on the one hand, it would take time to identify, on the other hand, lest they get the things and turn their faces and deny it.

Paul impatiently motioned for Mitsui to send the drawings to the small room for identification, and he stayed with Huang Xuan and said in English: "How long is Mr. Huang going to stay in Japan?" ”

"It's always going to be a few months, you can't spend more time on the ship than on land."

Paul thought so, and listened to Huang Xuan's London accent, and immediately became cordial, and talked to him with a smile. Mitsui and the others looked at the two foreigners without knowing how they met each other.

Taking advantage of the noon time, Huang Xuan walked around Osaka City, including the steel plant where Mitsui was located, which was also the standard of 500 square meters of 50g biological bombs, and buried most of the city together, almost using up the remaining biological bombs.

If it did explode, it would be a fire that would be worse than the Tokyo Earthquake.

……

On the fifth day, Huang Xuan woke up early in the morning, but when he came out of the room, Mitsui Takasui and Yataro Iwasaki were still waiting outside.

The design drawings were not only easy to make, but also easy to identify, and the British decided to buy them for 100,000 eagles, and Mitsui felt that this might be the most cost-effective deal he had made besides participating in the Restoration.

Huang Xuan opened his eyes and remembered abalone, he knew that the Japanese still had a lot of abalone, such as 0.7 abalone bigger than a abalone, maybe 0.5 abalone, but then think about it, and feel that it is not interesting, after the new millennium, the 4 net abalone on the market will be extinct, for the market, two abalone and 0.5 abalone, in fact, are almost the same, how many people pay tens of millions of dollars to buy? If you really want to calculate it, it is not much for a two-pound abalone to sell for 50 million, but in fact, Huang Xuan feels that in the end, if you don't want to collect it yourself, 5 million is safer - it is equivalent to lowering the price in the market for no reason.

So, instead of bringing back a bunch of big abalone to eat by yourself, it's better to do it.

"Let's go to the docks. Those abalone didn't load the ship. Huang Xuan is a "sex" who does not suffer, he opened the cabinet door in a "messy", Inoue Xin was buried in the drawings again, Huang Xuan shrugged, and said: "These are the remaining **** drawings, the drawings of the steel mill are not here." ”

"Not on board." Inoue Xin carefully climbed out of the pile of drawings, as if he was besieged by a group of shit, he still had time to smile, and said, "You said that you can't load the ship until you go, and we didn't move at the dock." ”

"That's good." Huang Xuan took two deep breaths, there was still a biobomb under his feet, and he was still a little nervous when he thought about it.

Mitsui Takasui and Yataro Iwasaki followed one after the other, and the latter hesitated: "Lord Huang, the Changzhou Army will set off early tomorrow morning, the drawings of that little steamer?" ”

"When I get to the place, I'll give you a piece." Huang Xuan rented a warehouse near the dock two days ago, or there was really no place to put so many drawings.
